Chapter 349 - Fire At The Golf Course (3)
Flashback—
Jason had gone to et Helena in the jail for the first ti. He was in dire need of money and since their bank accounts had frozen, he didn't know how to get the money from. He wasn't used to toiling in the offices. Helena always had use for him like her personal goon and this is what he was accustod to. Ever since she had gone to jail, he had also gone into hiding. There was a constant fear that Silver House clan mbers might hunt and kill them. He was reduced to living with Niall who supported him by working at Wyatt's Golf Course.
"How are you, aunt Helena?" he said as he picked up the line on the other side of the eting area and removed his hood to show his colored blond hair. He was wearing thick glasses. His face was hidden behind a beard, which was also of the sa color as his hair.
Helena looked like a lifeless shadowed figure with hollow cheeks and pale skin. She looked dented when she entered the eting point as if she was dragging her feet on the floor. "How do I look, Jason?" she asked, staring in his eyes. She had beco thin and lost all her charm of the model body she once possessed. She appeared insane as if swinging between crying for comfort and fighting her internal demons.
Jason took in a deep breath. "You look bad, aunt Helena…" he replied pitying her, pitying him. Life had changed drastically for them. "They aren't serving you good food?" he asked.
"Not exactly," she replied, rolling her eyes, mocking his question. She found it odd that he had colored his hair. Since when did he start wearing glasses? He was looking nervous and darted his gaze around.
"What about your lawyers? How far have they gone with the case? I hope they release you because your condition is really deteriorating." He could see how sick she was.
"My lawyers aren't helping much. They feel that I won't be able to co out for the life," she replied with a whimper.
Jason pursed his lips. He cursed Dawn internally a hundred tis. "Do you want to et the lawyers?"
"Sure, go ahead and et them. I would like to listen to the details properly."
"I will," he replied. After what seed like an eternity of silence, Jason mustered so courage to ask what he wanted. "I need m— money. It is becoming difficult for ."
Helena frowned. "Oh so this is the reason you are here. You never ca here once since I got jailed."
Jason looked away.
She chuckled. "What a bastard you are! I have to feed you even though I am in jail and you can't feed yourself even though you are on the outside. Wow!" She nodded at the irony. "And how have you co here? Won't they arrest you?" Suddenly she realized why he looked so different.
He dug his pocket and took out an identity card. It was a fake one with the na of Mason Carter and showed it to her.
She scoffed. "Aren't you a sly fox?"
He shrugged and kept the card carefully back in his pocket. He looked up and found her staring at him with narrowed eyes. "What?" he asked.
"How much money do you want?" asked Helena after a short pause.
"About a thousand dollars…"
Her lips curled and she tilted her head to the left. "I will give you ten thousand dollars but you need to do sothing for ."
Ten thousand dollars! Jason stared at her without blinking. Where the hell did she have so much money and he was not even aware? What a bitch she was. Over here he was struggling everyday and the wench had access to so much even though she was in jail and her bank accounts were frozen. Adrenalin gushed through his body as a chuckle left his lips. "Wow!" he said. "You are full of surprises!"
"I am," she replied proudly. "So are you up to it?"
To get back into was sothing he craved for. And the money was good. He would do just about anything. "Yes I am," he said with a smile that refused to leave his lips.
"I want Dawn behind these bars. I want her here with . Can you do that?" she asked very quietly.
Jason's eyebrows shot to the roof. "D— Dawn?" he asked. Wasn't this woman content with what Dawn did to her? Did she want more doom? "Are you mad?" he almost chided her. "We can't touch that woman as of now. Don't you see where she has gotten you? If you raise as much a finger against her, you will be sent to the gallows."
She tittered.
The jailer reminded her that only ten minutes remained.
"Jason, I am on the inside. Who would point at ?" she leaned back in the chair.
"Ah!" Jason couldn't believe the woman in front of him. She was going to get things done by him. And the task that she demanded was impossible. "And how am I supposed to do that?" he asked.
"That I will leave to you," she said with a grin. "You are on the outside and you know things better. My goal is just one—to get Dawn inside with . Now do whatever you want to and get her here, and you get ten thousand dollars straight."
Jason shook his head at the woman's cheek. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you have truly gone insane." Saying that he cut the line and got up. He saw her laughing on the other side. He turned and left. On his way back to the course, he couldn't help but think where the hell had she stashed her money. If he ca to know the place, he would steal it all.
By the ti it was evening Jason was pacing down the corridors of the staff accommodations. He had smoked an entire packet of cigarettes. When Niall ca along with Bree, they discussed his eting with Helena.
After Bree heard him, she said, "I have a brilliant idea, but Dawn might not get into jail with that. She might wiggle out. However, the idea might extract good money out of Helena."
Jason passed his cigarette to Niall and puffed smoke out in the air. "Tell ." He had lost all hope and wasn't too optimistic when Bree said that she had an idea, but what was the harm in listening to it.
Bree sipped on her beer and said, "The idea is worth fifty thousand dollars, and not ten thousand. After all, the woman we are targeting is Dawn."
Jason laughed. "Fifty thousand? That bitch isn't gonna give us a penny and you dream of fifty thousand?" He got up to go to the bathroom.
Niall watched him go and she said, "The idea better be good Bree because everything that we are going to do now will only send us closer to the jail if it doesn't work."
Bree chugged on the can. She wiped her lips with her hand and smiled. "It will. But it will cost Helena. After all she wants Dawn in jail with her. Those are huge aspirations and cost money!"
"I am all ears," said Jason as he zipped his pants.
